Boom!
The Bloodsucking Claw and Flame Ball clashed in the skies and began channeling their attacks. An incredible force smothered the entire area with smoke and ashes putting it on the brink of destruction.
Behind the heavy smoke was the fearsome Bloodsucking Claw whose power did not weaken one bit and mercilessly gashed the Earthly Fire Dragon after demonstrating its unquestionable strength against the flame ball.
"Hiss!" "Hiss!"
The Earthly Fire Dragon was torn to pieces. The deafening sound of its crumbling body reached the heavens. It rained flesh and blood.
'You don't see that every day! Is it the power of the array?'
Ricky began to think ahead, afraid of the possible dire outcomes. If Karl suddenly turned to strike him, would he stand a chance if he tried?
He was certain he would lose.
But fortunately, after this blow, Karl's energy seemed to be dried up. He weakly knelt. All those crimson lines from the Bloodsucking Array were fading.
He just lost a drop of blood essence. Karl's energy to continue fighting was quickly running out.
"It worked!" Theo and the other two exclaimed out of surprise.
"Thank you, gentlemen, for your blood essence," he whispered, almost out of breath.
Then he said something that turned their smiles upside down.
"Now if you would be so kind, put down your fire essence and Dragon Grass, and leave this place. You are not welcome here."
Upon hearing this, the other three disciples of Karl's family glared at them with vicious intent and surrounded them immediately.
'I knew this was bound to happen!' Ricky thought to himself as the tension grew.
He knew it! According to Pompeo, there wasn't supposed to be any connection with their families. Why would Karl be willing to use the Bloodsucking Array to kill the Earthly Fire Dragon for them, given the price they were all meant to pay?
"Karl, what do you mean?" In response, Pompeo asked in a cold voice.
"What do I mean?" "You still haven't figured it out? We were only working with you to get what we need, five drops of your blood essence. Don't tell me you expected us to use ten drops of our own blood essence," said one of the disciples of Karl's Clan with a little grin on his face.
"Now that we have slain this beast, please hand over the items and leave this place; unless you too wanna taste our arrays," said one of the disciples of Karl's Clan.
"And Ricky, you must leave your manual with us.''
"Ha-ha! You guys are ridiculous. What makes you think we would walk away that easily?" Aiden burst into laughter.
"Because we're stronger than you and you all know it. Of course, if you refuse to leave, we can just keep you here forever! Take your pick." As they argued, Karl stumbled to his feet and got up, sneering.
"Well, that's just hilarious. You've lost your blood essence too. And you, Karl, look at yourself. Do you really think you can fight again?" Pompeo said disdainfully.
He knew that Karl wasn't supposed to be taken lightly. But judging by his current condition, he wouldn't be able to recover his energy any time soon.
"Did I say we are the ones to fight?" Hearing Pompeo trying to intimidate them, Karl sneered.
In an instant, Ricky's group seemed gloomier.
"If you really want to stay, then you can all just die here. You would all stay here forever. Letting you go really isn't part of the plan." A strange sound began to approach them.
A young man in a golden robe and a silver crown walked in with his head held high.
